Try to run Monero miner with OpenCL on my old Linux rig. The xmr-stak supports the official AMD APP SDK. But since I only have access to the relatively old hardware (AMD Kabini) running Mesa clover, a quick patch is needed to make it works.

Just for reference, on my AMD Kabini 5350, the hash rate on GPU is around 18H/s when running GPU only. Once added CPU mining, the GPU hash rate drops to about 12H/s. And the CPU hash rate is round 28H/s.

This rig definitely not suitable if mining for profit. But OK to support the Monero network.
